[909linux] minimized partition image

[Joel Brauer]

Was talking to Roger and telling him about how to make a partition  
backup without having to use space for the entire partition size.   
Using gzip  and dd this is possible.

dd if=/dev/partitiontobackup of=- | gzip > partimagename.gz
Hope that helps...
